Patent EP-0666084-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BITDINGER RALF V
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 1995-01-27
Abstract: A device for automatically injecting a material into the body is disclosed. The device includes a drive assembly and a syringe assembly which is mounted to the drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive rod, a driver releasably coupled to the drive rod, and a constant force spring which urges the drive rod towards the syringe assembly. The spring first urges the coupled drive rod and driver along the axis of the device, causing the skin to be penetrated by the needle of the syringe assembly. The drive rod is then decoupled from the driver. The spring continues to urge the drive rod in the axial direction, whereby the drive rod engages a piston in the syringe assembly and causes the displacement of the material therein. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves reducing luminance and/or colour data of a digital image signal by means of fractal image coding, at which each image is subdivided into range blocks with respectively n*n image points. A domain block is searched for each range block, which is mappable onto the range block under application of a transformation function with most little possible deviation. Basic geometric functions are searched both in the range and domain blocks, which approximate the data structure of the respective block as good as possible. A difference value is derived from the function to describe a residual roughness of the block. The search for the most appropriate domain block is carried out based on those difference values.

Abstract: A lobed mixer (7) has major and minor lobes (8,9). The major lobes increase in both height and width in the downstream axial direction. Each major lobe (8) has two minor lobes (9) positioned on its radially outer surface located downstream of the beginning of the major lobe. The radial depth of the minor lobes increases with downstream axial distance but is never greater than the depth of the major lobes. Each of the chutes (11) formed between the minor lobes introduces an additional stream of cold, low velocity fan flow into the hot, high velocity core flow to improve the uniformity of mixing. The double lobed mixer decreases acoustic intensity while having little or no effect on engine performance.

Abstract: The invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional dither and error diffusion methods used as halftoning techniques, namely the blurring of edges with the dither method and the appearance of peculiar patterns with the error diffusion method. To this end, an image processing apparatus is provided with an input unit for entering a plurality of color image signals, an image processing unit for subjecting the plurality of entered color image signals to processing based upon the algorithm of a cellular neural network, and a comparison decision unit for deciding output color data based upon results of processing by the image processing unit. Since input multivalued color image data based upon the algorithm of a neural network are converted to output color image data, it is possible to obtain a high-quality output color image that is faithful to the input color image.

Title: Method and device for control of a number of mutually communicating actuators
Inventor: BURNUS OLIVER
IPC: E05B77/48
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: The method provides control of a number of actuators which communicate differently. Each actuator has at least one signal generator to determine the state of the actuator (1-4). At least one control device generates control signals in dependence on the state of at least one of the actuators (1-4). The control signals control position elements of the actuators. The temperature of the actuators (1-4) and/or of the control device(s) cooperating with the actuators (1-4) is determined. When a defined temperature threshold value is exceeded in the actuator or control device a control signal for controlling the position element of the differently communicating actuators is generated as long as the temperature threshold is exceeded by a defined temperature value.

IPC: H01S5/02
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: The disclosed novel method of making III/V semiconductor lasers involves cleaving of the wafer along predetermined cleavage planes. A cleavage plane is defined by means of aligned non-continuous depressions (e.g., 51, 52, 53). The depressions are spaced from the laser contact regions, and typically are V-grooves produced by photolithography and anisotropic etching. A further surface feature (7), typically a precisely positioned scribe mark, facilitates cleavage initiation. When carried out in vacuum the novel method can provide high quality, accurately positioned cleavage surfaces, and consequently can facilitate increased yield of high power lasers.

Abstract: An alignment system and method for maintaining the
alignment of a target projector with another image projector
in a simulator system. The target projector system
includes a slewable fold mirror to move the target image in
azimuth and elevation. A two position beam splitter is
arranged so that in a projector operating mode, the beam
splitter is positioned out of the target projector image
light path, and in a projector maintenance mode, the beam
splitter is positioned in the image light path. A photosensitive
array is positioned relative to the beam splitter
such that light from the display screen is redirected from
the light path onto the array. During the maintenance
mode, reference light points are generated on the display
screen, and the target projector is precisely aligned by
use of processing the images captured by the array to
calculate an error signal representing the distance between
the light point image and the center of the array. The
error signal is used to command servo motors positioning
the slewable fold mirror to precisely align the target
projector to the light points. The servo commands resulting
in the precise alignment for each reference point are
stored in a lookup table in memory. These commands are
used to obtain additional table values for interpolated
points between the reference points. The table values are
then used to adjust the servo motor commands positioning
the slewable mirror during normal operation of the target
projector.
